The Bells of Southrepps, Norfolk

St James' Church in Southrepps stands at the highest point in the village, with its tower visible for miles around. The church is large and aisleless, but it is clear that the church was once much larger as the three great pillars in each wall of the Nave suggest. The church also houses the remains of a Rood Screen. The large tower houses a ring of six bells, which are rung from the spacious and light ringing gallery. The bells were hung as a ring of five, low in the tower at the height of the square windows in 1984 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. 3 years later they were augmented to six with the casting of a new treble in 1987. They form a very pleasant ring of six which are well worth a visit if in the area. Ringing here was filmed during our visit in the summer of Summer 2022. (6 bells, 12-2-12cwt in F)
